I’ve kept journals since I was ten years old and as proof, I have about forty of them all stashed in an old barrack box in my basement. When I pick them up, turn them over in my hand, I immediate an overwhelmed by the emotions I felt when I wrote on the page and […]

It’s almost the start of 2013 and with every new year comes a new set of resolutions, that if we’re all going to be honest, often get broken. It’s often a time of year that we set unrealistic expectations of ourselves, as though the new year will bring a completely new self. And don’t get […]

With the holidays comes holiday parties and with parties comes lots of touching, snuggling, hugging and other activities that can put your immune system to the test.

I’m always cruising the Internet for new and exciting things related to my yoga practice. And yes, I’ve certainly written about clothing in the past because, contrary to my last post on Nude Yoga, I really love yoga clothing. As I’ve mentioned, I work from home, so being comfortable is vital to me as I […]

This has been a challenging week for me.
